The ST-Line is the second rung up in Ford's new Focus range, starting from $28,990. It is also available as a wagon, priced from $30,990.

The ST-Line has a sportier bent than the Trend below it and Titanium above it. What sets this model most apart from the rest of the range is the sports-tuned independent rear suspension. The ST-Line variants also rides 10mm lower than the Trend.

Despite its hot-hatch looks the ST-Line uses the same 1.5-litre 134kW/240Nm three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine as the rest of the Focus range. All Focuses have eight-speed torque converter transmissions. Ford rates fuel consumption at 6.4L/100km.

Standard equipment that the ST-Line gains over the base Trend includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, auto-folding and heated wing-mirrors, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry with push-start a Qi (Chee) wireless phone charging pad, a tyre-pressure monitoring system and sportier trim additions inside and out.

The ST-Line has automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane keep assist (LKAS) with lane departure warning (LDW), a 180-degree reversing camera and rear parking sensors as standard.

Active cruise control with stop & go, blind spot monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert can be added as part of a safety pack priced at $1250.

The Focus range was awarded a maximum five ANCAP safety stars as of December 2018.

The wagon gains roof rails and a tonneau cover over the hatch, with a max storage capacity of 1653 litres.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
